pm_wakeup_irq_show() reads the global pm_wakeup_irq variable twice:
first to check if it is zero (returning -ENODATA if so), and then again
to format the value for sysfs output. Between these two calls, the
wakeup IRQ could be cleared (e.g. by writing 0 to the same sysfs file),
leading to a time-of-check-to-time-of-use race. The result may be a
printed value of 0 despite the check having passed, or other
inconsistencies.
Cache the value in a local variable after a single read, and use that
for both the check and the output. This closes the race window and
makes the operation atomic from the caller's perspective.
